Chapter 18: Money-mongering
When Wu Zhi was secretly cool, Brother Yun also gloated and reported to Wu Zhi what happened at the door of Huanxianglou just now, and Wu Zhi was also afraid for a while after hearing it, if he didn't have a county here, then today's opening would definitely be completely destroyed by Ximen Qing, and in the face of the steaming original pig manure, no one could eat even if it was a delicacies from the mountains and seas!
What a trick!
Fortunately, Ximenqing couldn't steal the chicken, and provoked himself with, Wu Zhi also praised Brother Yun's wit again and again, but at the same time, Wu Zhi also felt deeply uneasy, after all, he only relied on the knowledge and acquaintances that were thousands of years ahead of him to make Ximenqing repeatedly deflated, once Ximenqing was forced to clash head-on with himself, then it was difficult to avoid Ximenqing's fists and kicks with his eighth set of broadcast gymnastics.
When the time comes, he will be beaten back by others, then Wu Zhike will suffer a big loss, his current career has just improved, and there are well-behaved beautiful girls like Xue'er who roll the sheets together every day, and there are countless beauties and a good future beckoning to him in the future, at this moment he never wants to go back to the 21st century to be a nobody.
Although he understands that Ximenqing may be afraid of the relationship between Wu Song and Zhixian and dare not come to bully Wu Zhi publicly, but after all, Ximenqing has the right to deal with some civil disputes in Yanggu County, and Wu Zhi cannot guarantee that his restaurant will be smooth sailing and will not cause trouble, and if you open a restaurant to do business, even if you don't mess with right and wrong, it is extremely easy for others to create a right and wrong here, and once Ximen Qing is caught once, I am afraid that he can reasonably confront Wu Zhi, and most of the people who will suffer at that time will be Wu Zhi.
"No! I have to find a way to get rid of Ximenqing's privilege! After analyzing the situation, Wu Zhi also took a deep breath and secretly calculated, Ximenqing's biggest reliance is the privileges given by the county government, and without the privileges, Ximenqing is just a pharmacy owner!
And this kind of privilege that is only verbally granted to the government by default is very unstable, whether there is a word from the county, so Ximenqing will be so jealous of the county, for Wu Zhi, it is not difficult to take away the privilege of Ximenqing, now the relationship between Wuzhi and the county is gradually heating up, Ximenqing will definitely not be able to react in a short time, this is the best time for Wuzhi to operate, if Ximenqing realizes that Wuzhi is the county of Zhi, and in turn competes with Wuzhi, then things will be much more difficult.

"Master, that's a hundred taels, you just promised the surname Zhang?" After returning to the house, the little servant asked Ximenqing, in the past, others gave them silver, how could he have to compensate others for silver today, he was very uncomfortable.
"Yes! The big official, didn't he just get pig in his restaurant, why did he give him money! The thugs on the side also disdained.
Ximenqing had already changed into a clean suit of clothes and shoes at this time, he glanced at the thug, scolded him secretly, and said leisurely: "Boss Zhang of Huanxianglou is not something we can bully at will, people only need one hundred taels to give me face!" β
"But the house has been spending too much recently, and it has been ......" The little guy was not only not angry when he saw that Ximenqing was going to take the silver out again, but was very leisurely, so he reminded.
"Don't worry!" Ximen Qing got up violently, with a smile on his face, his eyes flashed with essence, and he said in a deep voice: "This silver Wu Dalang will help us pay it back!" If he dares not to help, then we will smash his restaurant! β

As the saying goes, bad things spread thousands of miles, but good things don't go out. In fact, not necessarily, the reason why bad things are more widespread than good things is that bad things contain many elements that people are interested in, such as freshness, novelty, causing associations, etc., Wuzhi Deyilou's wine and food just meet these factors, so it is only a few days, the reputation of Deyilou is not only spread in Yanggu County, even other counties hundreds of miles away are almost everyone knows, people spread how the dishes of Deyilou are delicious, how mellow and strong the wine is, attracting many people from afar every day.
Of course, these people who came from afar will not be disappointed after eating the dishes of the proud building and drinking the wine of the proud building, and even more will linger in Yanggu County for many days, until they are reluctant to leave in their pockets, which has inadvertently also driven the economy of Yanggu County.
Wu Zhi has been counting money with Xue'er until his hands cramp these days, and the two of them can collect a whole box of silver coins every night, and the appearance of counting money is like two wealth fans, a landlord and a small landlord's wife! Fortunately, there are fast catchers patrolling nearby every day, and the two of them are also at ease.
However, Wu Zhi was not stupid enough to save this money, in addition to keeping a part of it as the necessary expenses on the restaurant's books, other Wu Zhi successively invested in buying soybeans, and Brother Yun had also gone to the countryside outside the county to buy land and buy a house under Wu Zhi's instructions, and prepared to start various matters of the oil mill.
On the second day of the opening, before going to see a doctor for the son of Zhixian, Wu Zhi quietly brought ten catties of soybean oil and two jars of wine, and sealed fifty taels of silver, and asked someone to send them to Zhixian, who knew that when Wu Zhi went over, Zhixian actually dragged Wu Zhi to the back room with a gloomy face, and blamed: My son's illness has been cured, this is all Dalang's favor, and now I have not repaid the favor, how dare I accept your money. Then he said that he wanted Wu Zhi to take the gift back.
Zhixian did this, Wu Zhi was completely relieved, which proves that Zhixian did not take Wuzhi as an outsider, under Wuzhi's repeated shirk, Zhixian still only accepted wine and oil after all, and Wuzhi specially taught Mrs. Zhixian a few stir-fried dishes, naturally the Zhixian couple was more favored by Wuzhi, so after this, Zhixian was done, and his pillow wind was solved, and when he stayed to eat at noon, Wu Zhicai "inadvertently" talked about his grievances with Ximenqing.
His rhetoric naturally said that he was a kind-hearted and honest victim, and Ximenqing became more unbearable than Ximenqing's own image in Wuzhi's mouth, which caused the county magistrate to frown again and again, and the self-proclaimed upright county magistrate was of course angry.
Of course, Wu Zhi is not stupid, so he will not treat the Zhixian couple as fools, Wu Zhi's words did not express the meaning of letting the Zhixian rectify Ximenqing, he said that these are just whining in the eyes of the Zhixian, purely confiding in his heart after drinking.
Wu Zhi wants this effect, although the magistrate doesn't think that Wu Zhi has any purpose, but as everyone knows, the magistrate already has a disgust with Ximenqing in his heart, as long as Ximenqing dares to do it again, then Wu Zhi has full confidence that Zhixian will take away his privileges!
In fact, even if Wu Zhi now bluntly asks the magistrate to take away Ximenqing's privileges, it is not impossible, but that will make the magistrate feel that he has ulterior motives, and he will have to mix in Yanggu County in the future, Wu Zhi naturally wants to be a **** in front of the magistrate, and set up a memorial arch......
The foreshadowing has been completed, and it is waiting for Ximen Qing to do his own thing.
The winter sun shines through the door on Wu Zhi's body in front of the counter, and Wu Zhi is warm all over, Wu Zhi can't help but squint his eyes, stretch his waist to his heart's content, and lazily feel the dazzling sunshine...... Suddenly, a figure blocked in front of Wu Zhi, the figure was very tall, and it had blocked all the sunlight on Wu Zhi's body, Wu Zhi was unhappy, so he opened his eyes, raised his head and scolded: "I'll wipe it!" Which Sabi blocked the sun of the Sprinklers? β
Wu Zhi is not a reckless person, he knows that this figure is not an employee in the store, and his scolding is a word for later generations, people in this era can't understand it, so scolding the wrong person is not in the way.
"It's me, Sabi!"
An unflinching voice sounded, and Wu Zhi also saw clearly that it was Ximen Qing!
"You know you're a Sabby!" Wu Zhi smiled secretly, Ximen Qing was followed by a small guy and a stout man, and the two of them had a dark smile on their faces, obviously not good. Ximenqing hates Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi doesn't hate this male junior who cuckolded him.
"It turned out to be Ximen Qing! What's the point? Wu Zhi had never been polite to Ximenqing, so he asked directly.
"Naturally, I want to eat at your restaurant! It's not good to say hello! Ximen Qing didn't speak, and the little guy next to him said arrogantly.
"Please eat inside, Xiao Er, greet the guests!" Although he knew that the comers were not good, Wu Zhi's business people couldn't drive them away, so he had to call Xiao Er to greet them.
Ximenqing glanced at Wu Zhi proudly, and went inside, while walking, he was still thinking about what "Sabi" meant, why when he said it just now, that Wu Dalang's face seemed a little strange, but according to Ximenqing's own understanding, it should belong to the meaning of "evil star" or something, according to this, he is indeed a "Sabi"!
There is no empty box upstairs, so Xiao Er led Ximenqing to a freshly cleaned up table in the hall downstairs, seeing that Wu Zhi's business is so hot, Ximenqing can't help but feel unhappy again, and he only has a secret way in his heart, I will let you see my means of Sabi later!
Ximenqing and others' wine and food are Wu Zhi's personal purpose, Wu Zhi really wants to put some laxatives or something in the wine and food to fix Ximenqing, but he understands that if he does that, wouldn't he just give Ximenqing a handle, he won't do this kind of brain-dead + naΓ―ve thing, so the wine and food he gave Ximenqing and others are carefully selected.
"Tut-tut! Master, this Wu Dalang has a hand! I was able to cook such a delicious dish! β
"Yes, big official, you taste this wine, it really tastes good!"
"Less nonsense! Don't forget our plans! β
Ximen Qing saw that the little guy and the strong man were so forgetful about eating and drinking, his face was also very ugly, he had also tasted this wine and food, it was really unstoppable, but the more delicious the wine and food, the more angry Ximen Qing became, because this was the wine and food of Wu Dalang Restaurant!
"Eat two more bites, eat two more bites and I'll fall down......" After the little guy heard Ximenqing talk about the plan, he said anxiously, and while talking, he gulped down the dishes, and the strong man here was also reluctant to grab the wine jug and drink it one by one.
"Hurry up, don't miss me!" Ximenqing is also a good eater and drinker, and he can only eat enough at the moment.
Wu Zhi has been vigilantly paying attention to Ximenqing's side, although he is calm in his heart, he is afraid that Ximenqing will not cause some trouble, but it is inevitable that he is still a little nervous.
"Smack!"
There was a crisp sound, and everyone in the hall of the proud building looked sideways, and then there was a shouting and scolding: "Hmph! What a bird wine dish this is! How to eat my brother fell to the ground! Where's the boss? Come out and give an explanation! β
"Hmph, it's still here!" Seeing this, Wu Zhi snorted coldly, and walked out of the counter leisurely.
At this time, Ximenqing's table of wine and food was already in a mess, only Ximenqing himself sat there without moving, and the little guy he brought was falling to the ground convulsions at this time, as if he had been poisoned, and the strong man was "nervous" taking care of the little guy.
"What's going on? Is this objective guilty of any disease? Why didn't they take him to the doctor? Wu Zhi said with concern as he approached.
"Humph! My brother is usually very good! It's just that I ate your food just now! It's the food in your restaurant that has a problem! The strong man glared angrily.
"No, the wine and food in my store are also sold to others, why are others fine, but your brother is fine?" Wu Zhi explained.
"I don't care if someone else has something, but if my brother has something, I want you to take care of it!" Finally, Ximenqing, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.
Hearing Ximen Qing say this, Wu Zhi understood that they didn't come today to smash the signboard, but to make money! Also, with such despicable means, you can't smash the signboard of any restaurant, but it's easy to make money, especially when Ximenqing has privileges.
"Then what do you want our restaurant to do?" Wu Zhi thought about it for a while, and he already had a plan in his heart.
"It's simple, just get my brother back to normal."
"How can I recover?"
"Of course, I have to ask the doctor to come and heal him."
"What if it can't be cured?"
"If you can't cure it, you will naturally lose money!" After speaking, Ximen Qing glanced at Wu Zhi fiercely, and said sharply: "Do you want me to teach you this!" β
"Humph!" Wu Zhi never panicked, he snorted coldly, and said unhurriedly: "I don't know how much silver you think is appropriate?" "Wu Zhi knows that even if a doctor is invited, the little guy will not be fine, and the person who pretends to be asleep can't wake up, and the person who pretends to be sick will naturally not be cured.
"Two hundred taels! I, Ximen Qing, will come to you as a guarantee and guarantee justice! Ximenqing chuckled.
"Haha! It's really fair! Wu Zhi's face also changed, and he laughed and said, "Then what if I don't give it!" "This Ximen Qing really dares to ask for it, but Wu Zhi already has a plan in his heart, don't say it's two hundred taels, even one tael, and Wu Zhi won't give them to them!
"If you don't give it, it's unreasonable! My brother Ximenqing can't be bullied by others! Don't blame us for smashing your store! Even if you sue the government, you won't be reasonable! As soon as Ximenqing's words fell, the strong man stood up, and the sturdy figure that was a head taller than Wu Zhi approached Wu Zhi, and it seemed that he would knock Wu Zhi down with one punch at any time!
"Hey! The short man really has no sense of security......" Of course, Wu Zhi felt the aura of danger, and after sighing secretly, he raised his head, looked at Ximen Qing, and said word by word: "I won't give you a penny!" β
At the beginning, although the guests in the hall were shocked, but after seeing Wu Zhi and Ximen Qing discussing, they all thought it was okay to continue eating and drinking, at this time, some nearby guests heard Wu Zhi's answer, and they all realized that something was wrong, they all felt that although Wu Zhi was very backbone, but Ximen Qing was not easy to mess with, and this time it was necessary to fight.
"Humph! Call me! β
Sure enough, Ximen Qing saw that Wu Dalang was so ignorant of lifting, and after giving an order, the strong man immediately pounced on Wu Zhi viciously, Ximen Qing came with an attitude of tearing his face, of course he would not show mercy at this moment, and Wu Zhi slowly closed his eyes in the face of the strong man!
"Smack!" "Oops, hey!"
Two voices sounded, Wu Zhi was not hurt, after opening his eyes, he saw that the strong man had been knocked to the ground by a bench, Wu Zhi was feeling strange, and he heard a beautiful voice behind him.
"If you can't blackmail people for money, do you start beating people!"
